why does this page have the same look as ssi.inc? feels kind of strange to copy that of all things?

If you "view source", you'll see that the difference is day and night. ssi.inc is a simple html website. This Meta memo is a JS framework monster.
its a stylistic choice, it’s a statement: content is all that matters. Brutalist websites have been around for a long time.

im quite of aware of what it is. this isn't just "make a brutalist website" it is "make a website that looks like ssi when meta has multiple platforms and means to publish the same message." it is much more intentional than "lets make it look like web 1"
